The Russian government has classified mushrooms as agricultural products, according to a recent decree. This move brings mushroom producers under the umbrella of agricultural producers, making them eligible for a zero rate of income tax on their own agricultural products. The decree also includes truffles and regulates the mycelium of mushrooms, particularly in the context of greenhouse mushroom production.
